first, update your flux capacitor drivers.

Then run the update again. It should work fine.

 

Here is the order of events... lol (err this sucks)

 

ahh its always that damn flux capacitor! damn technology

 

are you running legititmmate coopy of Windows or did you get it from that one dude with the wooden leg

 

Install directly from here

I do everything legit well atleast this copy of windows is.

 

 

just kidding

sorry... I would try to do it again, but choose Custom Install. see if that works

 

ok I just tried to validate it and this is what happened...



alright I turned off my damn norton and I got it to validate...lets see what happens next.

 

ahh wtf is going on.... it now asked for my product key to see if this ish is legit.

I entered the product key correctly and it doesnt recognize it!! err



Edit: I finally downloaded the update and it started to install and then I got a setup error " installation did not complete"

 

Have you been manually shutting off your Windows Services at all?

I know I shut off Windows XP's cryptological services (they are worthless and eat up RAM) and Windows Update threw a fit until I turned them back on.

 

nope

 

"Failed"

 

have you had any problem updating Windows in the past?

 

1st time

 

well I suggest u do is............................................

 

turn off the fans then put your tip of your penis on the CPU, will work fine!

 

I had something like that happen before. There were all kinds of suggestions in knowledge bases of deleting things from the registry. In the end I never got it working and rebuilt the machine.

 

oh no....

 

.....you could\ get a Mac......end of problems

 

Try the update again and then check the event viewer. (start, run, eventvwr.msc). Check logs for yellow or red marks.

 

 

Just download it and install it yourself

^ did you even bother reading the thread?

 

Maybe like so many others he has you on ignore....

 

Actually did read it... just didn't see your reply... Sorry dude.

 

 

 

My buddy is having the exact same problem. We tried un-installing it and re-installing but got denied again. He did a bunch of stuff and still couldn't get it to work.

Windows sucks.

 

So I got the same bunch of stupid errors and never had a problem in the past and all my stuff is legit. So I forgot about it until MS comes out with an update that actually works.

 

Why does microsoft suck! Do macs have any problems? I've been thinking about getting a powerbook.

 

don't upgrade

 

buy a mac

 

eventually I will

 

There is a way to change your Windows key to another.

 

I had that problem a few weeks ago to... I just gave up and decided not to install it.

Interesting that turning off Norton allowed it to validate... maybe it's something Norton's doing to your computer? Like, try totally disabling Norton before you try to install? Just an idea... no clue if it works. That dallison thread the other day had me reminded that norton is de debil.

 

with intel or IBM chips?
